The FPS market dried up in about 2000,well atleast in inovation (perhaps 99). Doom 3 was fun and so was Half life 2 , but neither compared to their previous incarnations , they were better only due to the fact they were released several years after the origionals. ID no longer has the crown as there is no real crown to have.
The major problem with dungeon siege was that it apeard to be Diablo 2 without the soul. The loot was boring , the voice acting (suprisingly) was worse than that of Diablo2 and even gave Nox a run for its money in its less than amature nature and last but not least it was just lacking any origional (even unorigional but good)plot that failed to capture the imagination. it felt like a cheap clone of Diablo2 with more of a team focus and less of a goal, though the engine was ok. Im just a bit iritated because i paid around 50 for the game(the demo was alot of fun , unfortunatly it droped abotu 5 minutes after the demo ended)
Thank you , now i have an image of richard simmons in my head. The Richard Simmons Jesus whip-a-thon work out DDR simulation step one two one two one two , whip those abs . Disco boogie
Ok i love the GTA games (well i enjoyed 1 and 2 but 3 onwards were amazing) , but lets get serious. you can slaughter inocent civilians , slaughter multiple law enforcers and militarys personel. You can blow up countless cars,place car bombs , pick up hookers(and not see anything) and start random fights. So why oh why does someone get so upety now that there is a small poisiblity that some hackers can acces posible code that allows you to see some sex. Seriously , Game sex is far less offensive than game violence(like in real life) and game violence is just fun(so long as you can seperate reality and fiction)
ITs a future development , The web will expand as the bandwidth becomes available on the good side we shall see richer content , on the bad side we shall see um richer content.
Don't worry , you also get backstage passes. So after the torture you could go backstage and beat the crap out of them for destroying my pleasant memories of "rage against the machine " and soundgarden( I think that's the band with ex SG and RATM members)
I do believe they would be rather pissed off if we had a "PASSION OF CHRIST" game , with such boss battles as, the "Jesus whip-o-mania " , or a light gun mini game of firing crucifixion nails. (Or for those into Final fantasy) having a level 90 Jesus cast sodom on Pontious pilot , whilst st peter buffs up the party with his level 40 Fish and bread trick
These Gangsters will defiantly sell you the real thing . If they sell you a fake then they will earn a reputation and lose a lot of business , and if they sell that false information to someone of equal criminal intent then they run a very high risk of a punishment beating or a hit. Simple as that , so you can pretty much guarantee that they are selling genuine information , they are mostly selling it to people with equally dubious morals. they're no small fry scam artists job nor grifters , these are major organised criminal syndicates
OH its 15 , right yeah that is a lot more then . I Read 35USD, I do imagine i require a little sleep. Though coming to think about it , Comparatively its still not that bad considering how badly we are ripped off over here (well we also get a load of perks so its not all bad)
Nintendo'S Budget range are all priced around 30 Euros last time i checked., Which looking at the exchange rate , and the average higher price of consumer electronics and software in the EU pretty much means they are about in line with Sony's new US pricing scheme. I'm not up on the Xbox side of things but I would imagine it would be simmilar
Do as i always do , Buy the consoles about 6-12 months after they are first out , I've been doing it since the 80's (with the exceptions of my gameboys which i have bought within the first 2 days of release)and i always save a shed load.
As a rule of thumb , generally some of the best Games for a console come out around its death bed(the release of an updated console) and the games are cheaper , so you can really enjoy the best the previous generation has to offer whilst waiting for the cost of the new console to come down.Not to mention that new consoles generally launch with hardly any good games
Yes , but you know how many problems are caused by people not RTFM. That said , LEGO models like this are just collectors pieces for display(I have about 50), I make other models from my spare LEGOs going by models and so on this is where the real fun is. Designing and building your own. If you pay 300 (I have seen this kit go for anything from 200-400 roughly) then your not going to want to risk losing pieces
This one is ours , lets take another. Seriously Microsoft getting into telecommunications stinks of Monopoly Leveraging to me. If your convicted of abusing a monopoly , several special rules apply or rather they do not as the courts seem rather passive
"I really wish that they would go to an open standard, but DirectX is the standard, and the way to go when developing games." OpenGL is equally as capable and it is an open standard.
One thing the OS community is sadly lacking is designers , and its a major problem. We have some of the greatest minds in development , but we are severely short in the art department. Now hopefully this will improve as more Apple users embrace OSS as the efforts for computability on OS X keep churning along , but for now were kind of at a major hurdle in this respect( I mention apple here as a great number of layout artists and artists of many flavours favour apple).
I just had completely no idea , so i did what anybody would do in that situation. Google search for Nostradamus and 1995. I forgot to add something about the 3 years after the date and the terror being slashdot hitting servers
Slashdot Mirror
ATI are equally as notorious for optimising drivers for synthetic benchmarks.s _it_optimised_drivers/

They both do it and it makes artificial tests about as stupid as paying 900 quid for graphics cards you know will be outdone next year
No , so long as your computer is from Cray. They also have Xs in the names

IM more worried about the strange unusual ads that will appear

on the good side we shall see richer content , on the bad side we shall see um richer content.

About openID
Sometimes i wonder
Why we don't have it shut
Closed ID seems smarter
Burma shave
Seriously all this jazz about the OpenID systems left right and centre from so many sources , yet non of them work , perhaps a new vector is required

So basically this guy is suing google because they are not doing enough to stop him breaking the law.
And to sell his software
I just had completely no idea , so i did what anybody would do in that situation. .
